Yep, and the State promotes it. Wrong but that is what is happening. I wouldn’t advise giving up your weapons until the State no longer dictates the rules but actually is a public ‘servant’ and obeys the rules

Of course. Bad people will always find ways to do bad things.

The only question is does society make things easy for them, or hard. Do we set values and standards, and introduce a jeopardy in contravening them. Or just leave it to the individual.

My view is that freedom confers a responsibility on the individual, If we value the benefits of membership of society and the safety, prosperity and opportunity, that it confers on us, we must protect it.

We protect it by agreeing collectively the values of our society, by gathering together and saying that adhering to those standards is the cost of membership, and holding the people and our appointed representatives equally democratically accountable for those values and behaviors.

If you don't believe in that you are antidemocratic, and antisocial, by definition.
